Former Manchester City winger Trevor Sinclair has tipped Raheem Sterling to leave the club this summer amid reported interest from Arsenal. Sterling endured a rough patch of form in the latter stages of the season and could be moved on in the upcoming transfer window.
The 26-year-old was a surprise starter in Saturday's Champions League final, as Man City fell to a toothless 1-0 defeat to Chelsea in Porto.
Despite the Citizens lifting a fifth Premier League title, Sterling was widely criticised for his form in front of goal in the final few months of the 2020/21 campaign.
He scored just three goals in his last 20 appearances of the season for Pep Guardiola's side across all competitions.
Speaking on Monday's TalkSPORT Breakfast, Sinclair believes Man City will be open to letting Sterling leave this summer.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is reportedly plotting a raid of his old workplace, with the Gunners eyeing Riyad Mahrez and Sterling.
The Emirates Stadium may be an unrealistic destination for the England international, but Man City could be looking to raise funds.
Guardiola wants to bolster his squad further this summer, with Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane and Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland targeted as Sergio Aguero's replacement.
If not to Arsenal, Sterling could still be on his way out this summer, and at the age of 26, his stock should be high despite his recent woes.
